Hi Doctor,
I am soo worried. 6 weeks a go my friend cut my hair with his Hair clippers then next day I got throat sore, , fever and feel so worried the second day my tongue become white and I got wounded on the side, one week after my muscle and joint start paining so much and lost 7 kg of my weight, then after two weeks my mouth feel dry and and I have dry and peeling lips. My lips is healing little bit but I am still anxiety I don't know what really to do. so my questions are :
1) am I in risk of get infected if my friend has hiv and he put blood or sperm on the Hair clippers before cutting my hair just to harm me?
2) is hiv ars symptom start occurring one day after exposure?
3) is hiv symptom come one by one or all at once?
3) do I need hiv test because of this event?

Haircut is not the route of HIV transmission. You are freaking out without a reason. Relax and move on with your life normally. Ignore the symptoms because they do not mean much and are often misleading and confusing
Thank you soo much for time, this month was the worse moment in my life.

You can only be exposed to HIV if you:
1) Have unprotected (no condom) penetrative anal or vaginal sex, OR
2) Share IV drug equipment with other IV drug users.
Anything else you can think of, including the unlikely event that your friend put blood or sperm in hair clippers, is NOT a risk. You had no risk - no matter what else you add - and you do not need to test for HIV.
